Parochial tactics
The municipal and regional elections have a profoundly political character which does not coincide with the momentum and the objectives of the central political arena. It would be disastrous if it did. Every local community has its own particularities, its own problems and, of course, its own views of those who run for prefect or mayor.
On the other hand, municipal and, in particular, regional elections are deeply affected by the overall political climate. |

Partisan criteria
Greece's political parties are trying in vain to infuse political passion and fanaticism into Sunday's local and regional elections. Voters, however, remain passive, indifferent, and quite determined on one matter: Most of them, especially in big cities and municipalities, will vote along partisan lines, as they usually do in elections for the local administration. |
